Divine Omen | Chapter 1
Avan jolted awake from the same nightmare he'd experienced for nights on end. It was something he'd learned to live with - something that lingered over him since he was just a boy...but last night was different. A distant yet familiar voice called to him through an endless, empty expanse. Visions of a small body wearing blue flooded his vision. His right palm seared from a burn that had long since healed. The nightmares had only grown more vivid with time. More sinister. More real.
The young man held his aching hand close as he wandered to the watchtower he'd been summoned to. A little girl was found dead not far from the city. Though her clothes stained with black blood were alarming in their own right, it was their blue hue that captured Avan's intrigue. Could his dreams be tied to the truth of what happened?
Reports of disappearances climbed high on the Guard Captain's desk while the pain in Avan's head grew. In a bid to ease his guilty conscience, Avan found himself invested in uncovering the truth. The night before he was set to depart for the scene of the crime, two strange figures bearing an eerie message visited his dreams.
"Executioner...your first and final trial waits for you there...at the temple."
It didn't mean anything. At least not then.
In Divine Omen, even the most innocuous choices can shape the fates of your companions. The messages in Avan's dreams serve as your guide. Listen carefully.

I can't tell you how excited I am for this game! The world building, characterization, art, music, sound effects, EVERYTHING is so impressive. I'm particularly in love with Avan and Lachance's interactions (as a side note, please Lachance give me a shot I'll go punch rocks with you and everything PLEASE). And the interactive component was so unexpected and welcome-- it was awesome getting to check out Avan's room and learn more about him, but then utilizing it on the body of a dead child? I can already tell this game's gonna be deliciously fucked up and dark <3 And also I adore that you went with the less common approach of using full CG's to tell the story, rather than sprites. It makes you really feel immersed with every scene. AND THE JOURNAL. Holy shit there's so much detail in that sucker.
This demo had me laughing at points, tense at others, and all around intrigued! Who are the mysterious dream figures? What's the fucking deal with these Echoes? Why have Robin and Avan not made out sloppy style yet??
I can tell how much love, time, and effort went into this game, and I can't WAIT to sink my teeth into it!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go play the demo again and try to get all the dialogue options >:3
wow...sorry i'm in shock......thats so nice.....there's something in my eye........i'm happy to let you know there'll be more added to this VERY soon :-)!!! and i will do EVERYTHING in my power to ensure robin and avan make out sloppy style asap ♥♥♥ so glad you enjoyed it!!!
